Revealing mistake: At the start of the montage in which Frollo ransacks Paris for the gypsy girl, the shot of the three soldiers kicking down the baker's door very briefly places the more distant soldier off to the right "in front" of the closer central soldier; this is a case of incorrect animation cel layering.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise
Starring: Demi Moore, Kevin Kline, Jim Cummings, Jason Alexander, David Ogden Stiers, Corey Burton, Tom Hulce, Mary Kay Bergman
Factual error: The statues outside of Notre Dame Cathedral are shown as plain stone, as they appear in modern times, although in the story's period (the fifteenth century) they were polychromed.
Oafish Guard: All right, gypsy, where'd you get that money?
Esmeralda: For your information, I earned it.
Oafish Guard: Gypsies don't earn money.
Brutish Guard: They steal it.
Trivia: When Quasimodo is singing a few minutes into the film, he is standing above the town street where people are walking around, doing business. If you look closely to the lower right of the scene, you can see Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" reading a book in her blue dress, walking.
Question: I'm not of the Catholic religion so I have a question. During Frollo's fireplace song he sees those faceless people wearing the red cloaks and then on the wall there are shadows holding crosses and stuff like that. Are these any specific objects of the catholic religion or just your average devils and angels?
